Best stovetop tea kettle

Bottom line

Revere has been making quality kitchen
cookware for nearly a century, and the company's Whistling Tea Kettle is a
tried-and-true classic. Affordable and attractive, this product is a great
choice for anyone shopping for a reliable stovetop kettle. It's also easy to
clean and safe to use.

Performance

Fast,
efficient and sturdy. Review
website Bestcovery.com says the Revere Whistling Tea Kettle heats up "remarkably
quick." Its signature large copper bottom is designed to conduct heat
efficiently, and its stainless steel finish won't chip the way enamel exteriors
can. Many experts and owners praise the kettle's quality build, but a number of
Amazon.com users say the product suffers from a lack of quality control since
it's now manufactured in China. It comes with a one-year warranty, however, and
many unsatisfied consumers receive functional replacements.

Ease of use

Easy to keep it spotless. According to a user post at Epinions.com, the Revere Whistling Tea
Kettle is easy to keep clean. If you have hard water at home, you can remove mineral
deposits inside the kettle by filling the jug with equal amounts water and
vinegar, bringing it to a boil and rinsing it out. The stainless steel exterior
can be simply wiped down with a wet washcloth. The whistle is loud enough for
people with limited hearing to hear from two rooms away and the finger-trigger
spout opener is easy to operate, reports ThisCaringHome.org.

Safety

Great
design makes it safe for all users. The Revere's "stay cool" non-metallic handle reduces
burn risk, but ThisCaringHome.org says it can still get very hot when used on a
gas stove. Site editors add that the kettle's spout filler could lead to fewer
burn incidents than a midsection water filler, and the
product's light weight makes it safer.
